First, a big thank you to each of you for responding to the Spring Branch and Limb Pick-up which was moved forward to March 7th. Thanks also for your collective efforts to help clean up Common Areas and drag limbs and branches to the curb. The curbside debris was significant.
Normal chipping and shredding equipment were replaced by backhoes, front loaders and dump trucks to handle the massive about of organic material. As of last Friday, approximately 90% of the Spring Branch and Limb Pick-up had been completed.
The Glenmore tree canopy was significantly impacted by the January 3rd storm. Hundreds of trees were damaged and our contractors, and yours, have been hard at work to clear the debris.
Immediately following the storm, CARB drafted and the Board of Directors approved the GCA Common Area Storm Response Priorities to address this and future Storm Damage.
P1: Emergency response to clear roadways and walking paths was completed within a week after the storm, with primary support from our landscape contractor, D&D.
P2: Removal and/or trimming of common area vegetation/trees that pose a danger to persons and/or property) has been substantially completed, except for a few miscellaneous items which will be remedied as soon as possible.
P3: Clean up in parks and highly visible areas is well underway. Near term items for cleanup include areas on Newbridge and Farringdon, the waterway behind the footbridge on the Glen Lochen Pond, the damaged tree on the Piper Pond, two downed trees at the corner of Ferndown and Turnbridge, and damage behind 2331 Ferndown (awaiting land survey).
